Scottish Schools Will Allow Kids as Young as Four to Change Gender Without Asking Parents
Keeping a parent in the dark about anything is not cool.
The Scottish government told schools they must allow kids to change their gender with or without their parents’ permission.
The rule affects children as young as four.
From The Telegraph:
A 70-page document, issued to schools north of the border on Thursday, calls on teachers not to question pupils if they say that they want to transition to live as a boy or a girl and to instead ask them for their new name and pronouns.
The controversial guidance claims that it is possible to “come out” as transgender “at any age” and that the views of young people should be respected if they do not want their parents to be informed.
Scotland’s schools have also been told that trans pupils should be able to use whatever lavatory or changing room they choose, to develop “gender neutral” uniform options, and to include transgender characters and role models in reading material and lessons.
